    75 suburbs with full data · 329 suburbs indexed

    APF Suburb Intelligence tracks median house prices, median unit prices, rental yields, vacancy rates, and annual capital growth across 329 Australian suburbs spanning every state and territory. Coverage includes the inner-city markets of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, lifestyle corridors on the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, established middle-ring family suburbs, and high-yield regional centres in Perth, Adelaide and Hobart. Use the search to find a specific suburb by name or postcode, or browse by state using the filter tabs above the results grid.

    Each suburb page presents current market metrics in context — the median price relative to its state benchmark, yield relative to the national average, and growth relative to the broader metropolitan trend. An AI-generated market overview summarises the suburb's character, demand drivers, supply pipeline and risks, and links direct you to comparable suburbs in the same region so you can benchmark before making a decision. Stub entries flagged as "data coming soon" are indexed but awaiting the next data refresh.

    Data is sourced from CoreLogic median price indices, SQM Research vacancy and stock-on-market figures, and ABS Census demographics, with updates pushed as new releases land. APF estimates are indicative — always cross-reference with a licensed property professional, valuer or buyer's agent before transacting. For live vacancy rate data across all suburbs, see REAStats →
